Fashion Friday: Home Sweet Home

Spring is awakening all of my senses and inspires me to create fresh spaces in my home and in me! I love to actively participate in the newness of spring!

This refreshing domino pendant from In My Head Studios sings to me all that I have been yearning to do: clean out my house, my closet and get to work in the garden!

The birds have been visiting our window, we hear them singing and getting ready to welcome their new arrivals come warmer weather and that is exactly what this pendant inspires in me!

Vickie has created a beautiful pendant and if you have a special memento that would make the prefect keepsake gift, she can create a one of a kind pendant for you!

There is nothing finer than a gift like no other.

Congratulations to #54 daer0n for winning inky star shop's beautiful necklace!

And this week, the well is overflowing with upcycled beauty from Vickie Porter of In My Head Studios - who was recently made famous in this wonderful article in the Rochester Craft Shop Examiner! Kathleen Landers' interview with Vickie reveals Vickie's true love of what she does. We're very lucky to have her on the RNEST team and one of you will be incredibly lucky to this amazing altered mixed media domino pendant!

The pendant is called Sophisticated Squares and boasts a colorful collage, which is a print of a larger work of art that Vickie made specifically for her domino pendant jewelry. The collage was created with a variety of papers, rubber stamps, acrylic paint, and ink.

Wednesday Wellspring: In My Head Studios

Gurgle, gurgle and up from the well comes In My Head Studios. Vickie has been an artist since she could hold a crayon and needs to create like she needs air. All that creation needs an outlet, right? Well, on Etsy, Vickie found both a place to sell her wares and a real community of likeminded folks.

Vickie loves working with paper because it is such a versatile medium. She uses it to make cards, jewelry, book boxes, painted objects, origami, need I go on? She finds that it provides just the right texture and dimension to her works of art. Her favorite item right now is her domino ornaments – I have to agree! They are beautiful and unique!

Vickie, like so many other sellers, advises others to keep your photography sharp – it’s the most important thing when selling online! Perfect pictures are a process of trial and error, but you’ll figure out the best way to photograph your product. Also, she advises that there is always something new to be learned in the Etsy Forums. They are great places for tips and tricks and to connect with other sellers!

Make sure to check out In My Head Studios and find out more about the shop and Vickie on her blog, twitter, facebook, and flickr.
